After their followers began offering their well wishes on what many assumed was an engagement or wedding announcement, they quickly changed the caption to read, “You always make me smile.”
“Damn, he finally did it! He got married I never would’ve thought! They are so cute together,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Awwww congratulations!!”
Oppenheim set the record straight in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE: “Lou and I quickly realized that our post on Instagram made it look like we had just been married. We received numerous congratulatory texts, as well as angry texts from friends asking why they weren’t invited, so quickly changed the caption! All these photos were from an event that we went to together a couple of months ago.”
The broker also spoke about the mix-up on Sirius XM’s Hits1 Friday afternoon. When the hosts asked why he seemed to be glued to his phone at the beginning of the interview segment, he explained, “My girlfriend posted something and people think that we got married. I think the caption also leads into this. She posted photos of us that look like a wedding.”
Oppenheim said he was receiving “congratulations” texts from celebrity friends and professional contacts. Asked if there was any truth to the matter, Oppenheim said, “No, I’m not married.”
Oppenheim and Nurk met in July 2022 while they were both vacationing on the island of Mykonos in Greece. The pair were firstphotographed kissingin a parking lot and during that same trip, Oppenheimmade his debuton Nurk’s Instagram Story.

Nurk splits her time between California and Paris, where she’s based for work, and recently opened up about the sometimes difficult realities of dating long distance.
“The truth is, we both knew from the beginning that I would have to move back because of my job, friends, and family being here,” she wrote in response to a fan question on social media. “Long distance relationships can be tough, but we’re both committed to making it work. We make sure to communicate regularly and make time for each other despite the distance.”
She continued: “While it’s not always easy, we both believe that our love is worth the effort. I’m grateful to have such a supportive partner who understands my goals and passions. At the end of the day, it’s important to follow your heart and pursue your dreams, even if it means taking risks and facing challenges.”
